<h1>Overview of BIC<a href="index.html#overview-of-bic" class="anchor-section" aria-label="Anchor link to header"></a></h1>
<p>Data visualization plays crucial roles in illustrating results and sharing knowledge among researchers. Though many types of visualization tools are widely used, most of which require enough coding experiences or designed for specialized usages. Here, we present ImageGP, a generalized visualization platform which has been running for nearly 4 years and serving 222,643 visits from all over the world. ImageGP supports generalized plots like lines, bars, scatters, boxes, sets, heatmaps and histograms with up to 40 parameters to meet versatile requirements. ImageGP also contains specialized plots like volcano plot, functional enrichment plot, ChIP-binding profiles and single-cell marker-genes plot for more quickly usages. Each tool of ImageGP contains 1 to 6 demos showing input data formats and parameter combinations. ImageGP is specially optimized for commonly used data matrix formats as inputs and could generate publish-ready plots in multiple formats like PDF, PPTX by just two-clicks.</p>
<p>Input data would be first format checked and required information would be filled in drop-down menu for selection to avoid typo errors. Pasting data tables larger than 1 Mb to text-area of web pages normally would freeze the web browsers. Then the file uploading and management module is developed and uploaded files could be selected and part of contents could be previewed when plotting. The R codes used to generate each plot could be downloaded for reproducible research. Professional users could also tailor the codes for in-depth customization. ImageGP supports data visualization for wet-lab experiment results as well as various types of omics results like scRNA-seq, metagenome, RNA-seq, metabolome with a broad range of users.</p>
<p>ImageGP is freely accessible at <a href="https://www.bic.ac.cn/ImageGP/" class="uri">https://www.bic.ac.cn/ImageGP/</a> or <a href="https://www.bic.ac.cn/BIC/#/" class="uri">https://www.bic.ac.cn/BIC/#/</a>. R package with all codes, documentations and demo files are also available in the GitHub repository (<a href="https://github.com/Tong-Chen/ImageGP" class="uri">https://github.com/Tong-Chen/ImageGP</a>).</p>
<p><strong>How to cite?</strong></p>
